ED cannot dictate public prosecutors' court actions: SC

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has said the Enforcement Directorate and its director may provide instructions related to the facts of a money laundering case but they cannot direct their prosecutors on how to conduct themselves in court. The bench clarified the limits of the ED's authority over public prosecutors while addressing a trial court's directive that the director of the anti-money laundering probe agency issue instructions to prosecutors not to oppose bail applications in cases where trial delays were caused by the agency. We may also note here that the Enforcement Directorate and its director can give instructions to public prosecutors on facts of the case. The bench said the trial court order should not restrict public prosecutors from opposing bail in situations where trial delays are not the fault of the ED. Justice Oka described the trial court's earlier directive to the ED's director as drastic but acknowledged that public prosecutors must act fairly and transparently.
